The Poor Little Brother
In the shadow of the big older brother, he has a tough time. His appearance is unspectacular. He is too young to be a classic and too old to score points with the younger crowd.
If he had a different name and came from another manufacturer, he would surely receive higher ratings and more attention. But he is and remains a simple drugstore scent.
Wait... Let’s imagine we were invited to a blind tasting, without seeing the person, without prejudices.
We close our eyes
In the slightly sweet opening, we find a hint of citrus and lavender. Very refreshing.
Then it quickly becomes darker and transitions into a sweetly bitter connection between green and patchouli, with light rose notes in the background. It does a lot right. Over time, it becomes gloomier until it slowly fades out with a slightly powdery scratchiness.
We open our eyes again and see no Armani in front of us. Nor any Aramis or classic Boss. A small Mäurer and Wirtz, perhaps the best from their lineup, alongside Irish Moss and Tabac Original.
Its successor, Fire Power, cannot compare to it.
It deserves more attention, even if it does its job unspectacularly.

I also like that it doesn't smell as mainstream and smooth as every fragrance these days. That distinctly fresh, masculine scent is fantastic. Edges and corners for men :)
